I've been hearing a lot of entrancing stories about this river from my relatives before who were able to visit the place. And their tall tales whetted my curiosity to examine this mystical river for myself.

Rios Encantados

Hidden in a small town of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur is a threshold of blue-crystal clear waters of Enchanted River. The name says it all. You will be truly enraptured by its inconceivable beauty and be intrigued by its mystery. I have learnt from people that the depth of the river is immeasurable. According to them, one man dared to dive into the deep but was never found again. It was believed that the mythical creatures got him. There were also reported sightings of a green guy (baka siokoy?) and two ladies in white who walked on the surface of waters and suddenly disappeared. Sila daw yung mga pinaniniwalaang bantay sa nasabing ilog, which gave us the reason not to swim anymore (laughs).

We did not enjoyed the waters that much because its almost night time. We were discouraged by some local people too to swim there for it was believed that the spirits orthe encantos will take the place by 6 in the evening. May it be true or just a mere product of wild imagination, all I know is that my eyes were truly delighted by it's beauty. I wonder why it was not nominated in the modern wonders of the world?

My Abode

Who?! Me?!

Can't find the right words to describe myself...uhmm...insanely sane? haha...I am a simple guy who wants simple things in life and the only prized possession I have is my family. They are the ones who helped fortify my well-being (and the reason why I am here). In my fine time if not watching tv, blogging or sound trippin', I sleep a lot (and that makes me happy hehehe). I love hiking, biking , and going out of town. Isa sa pinakapangarap ko sa buhay ay ang makapag-sky dive. Sana matupad 'yun someday soon. I am not so into gaudy get up...I'm comfortable of wearing jeans and shirt. If you would ask me to define love? Aumigaud! It's a tough question. I don't have a right definition on that but I can show you the way I understand it.
Yeah baby! It's me Jag!
